With Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Ubisoft has proven it knows how to craft a good pirate game, specifically in regards to naval combat. The publisher is taking that know-how to the next level with Skull and Bones, a new IP that pits teams of players against each other in open seas warfare during the height of the Golden Age of Piracy.
Skull & Bones' conflicts are waged in the Indian Ocean. Teams of five compete against each other in explosive ship battles with the winners determined by whoever emerges with the most loot once the dust settles. Different vessels boast specific advantages, such as reinforced hulls or battering rams that devastate ships in close quarter combat. Taking into account your ships strengths and weaknesses, as well as the weather conditions can make all the difference in deciding the pirate that wins the day.
Cooperation with your comrades is also key. In the trailer, the arrival of pirate hunters, formidable AI units that target the wealthiest ship, prompted one player to sacrifice their ship by ramming it into a pirate hunter, allowing the vessel bearing the treasure to escape.
Players can recruit their own crew members, assign captains, and customize their ships to their liking. Either alone or with friends, they can raid a large open world and take on opposing players in several multiplayer modes. You can look for Skull & Bones to release next fall for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.

A new vision of Kratos first reemerged at E3 2016. He appeared older, grayer and wiser, accompanied by a new companion: his young son. This year's E3 saw an expanded look into title's new Norse setting and its mythical inhabitants.
Kratos is imparting his warrior wisdom onto his young son, exposing both his merciless and brutal side along with flickers of compassion. "You said I was cursed," Kratos' son says, "you think I'm weak because I'm not like you." He and his father are on an unknown quest, and during that journey they run into plenty of new, ferocious enemies.
This trailer gives players a deeper look into what to expect from this dramatic departure from the previous the God of War titles. A large part of that seems to revolve around Kratos' son, and "the truth." While Kratos handles the combat side of things, his son proves his worth by translating the native dialect. "He wants to help us," Kratos' son replies after he is asked to interpret the words of a colossal beast at the end of the trailer, potentially revealing at least a portion of his origins.
God of War releases for PlayStation 4 in early 2018. What do you think about this radical shift in the popular action series?

Far Cry 5 takes players into the heart of Montana in the fictional Hope County. A militia led by a fanatical religious leader has overtaken the area and it's up to players to rid Hope County of this dangerous threat. Given the militia's overwhelming presence in the area, that's a tall order. Luckily, it's not one that has to be tackled alone.
Ubisoft showed off a gameplay walkthrough demonstrating how players can use guns-for-hire, such as Grace the sharpshooter, to aid them during missions. Grace eliminated targets designated by the player from afar and even called out unseen enemies closing in on the player. Boomer, the player's canine companion, can be ordered to attack foes and fetch weapons. When air support is needed, pilot Nick Rye can fly in on his biplane and unleash a hail of gunfire upon targets. Those who prefer a more personable touch of assistance can have their friends lend a hand with missions online.
Far Cry 5 hits PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC February 27, 2018.

Developer Rare hopes that its shared-world pirate epic Sea of Thieves will let players enjoyably live out their swashbuckling fantasies alongside friends. A lengthy look at the title during Microsoft's E3 media briefing gave aspiring pirates a substantial look at moment-to-moment gameplay.
Players can dive underwater to uncover sunken treasure, disembark on tropical islands riddled with secret pathways and loot, and even battle musket-toting skeletons determined to send players to Davey Jones' locker. My favorite part of the demo occurs near the end. After an intense naval battle with a rival ship (also controlled by real-life players), the player hops into a cannon, fires himself aboard the enemy ship, and clears out the crew single-handedly. Eat your heart out, Jack Sparrow.
Sea of Thieves sails to retail in early 2018. Like other first-party titles, the game is Xbox One X enhanced and Play Anywhere.

Call of Duty's big return to the second world war arrives November 3, and Sledgehammer Games has a new highlight reel showing off the game's grounded yet exciting flow in multiplayer.
The trailer does a good job running home the fact that death can come from all directions, including from above thanks to the aerial bombardments of enemy fighter planes. While the time period means the that the game lacks the high-tech verticality and maneuverability of the near-future entries, Sledgehammer's heavy focus on the pure grit and pandemonium of humanity's greatest conflict gives multiplayer a visceral edge that was absent in recent Call of Duty titles.
Are you looking forward to Call of Duty WWII? How do you feel about a return to more antiquated setting and combat?

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy kicked off Sony's E3 festivities with a new story trailer. Releasing August 22, the adventure stars series favorite Chloe Frazer and Uncharted 4's tough-as-nails mercenary boss Nadine Ross as they search for the legendary Tusk of Ganesh.
Gameplay featured in the trailer is the standard action-packed fare we have come to expect from the Uncharted series, but what seems to set the game apart from its brethren is the tense relationship between the two treasure hunters.
The two characters seem to have an unwilling but necessary partnership. Official copy for the game describes their adventuring as such: "along the way, they’ll learn to work together to unearth the mystery of the artifact, fight their way through fierce opposition, and prevent the region from falling into chaos."
How do you feel about this expansion into the Uncharted universe?

Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite marks a big shake-up for the popular fighter. In addition to the reduced 2-on-2 combat, streamlined gameplay, and the Infinity Stones power-ups, Infinite looks to try its hand at presenting a cinematic story mode popularized by Mortal Kombat and Injustice.
Heroes of the Marvel and Capcom universes are shown striking an uneasy deal with Thanos in exchange for the whereabouts of the Infinity Stones. The boundless power of these gems appears to be the only method of confronting the combined might of Marvel's Ultron and Mega Man X's Sigma. We're treated to a montage of "dream" team-ups, from Chun-Li and Captain America to the pairing fans of both properties have dreamed about for years: Iron Man and Nathan "RAD" Spencer.
The dialogue and interactions feel incredibly silly and somewhat awkward, which may be both good and bad. You can decide for yourself by downloading a free demo of the story mode from the PlayStation and Xbox stores right now.
Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite releases September 15 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Insomniac's Spider-Man concluded Sony's PlayStation briefing with a bang thanks to a new gameplay video showcasing an entire mission. In it, we got a look at combat, web swinging, as well as a few appearances of Spider-Man's allies and adversaries.
The demo begins with Spidey tracking the Inner Demons crime syndicate, who have been moving in on the turf of Wilson Fisk aka the Kingpin. For some reason, Spider-Man has formed an uneasy alliance with Fisk, agreeing to drive out the Demons in exchange for information on their leader. If you're a fan of Spider-Man comics, chances are you already know the identity of this enemy: Mister Negative, who appears the be the game's first confirmed villain.
The trailer provides the first extensive look at gameplay, primarily combat. Spider-Man's attacks and movements are impressively fluid, and a slow-mo feature (likely representing his spider sense) allots players a small window to evade attacks and give takedowns a stylish flair. The trailer also showed off web gameplay, including using web lines to manipulate environment (like pulling a crane arm to knock down enemies) and gadgets such as a web proximity mine. A thrilling mid-air chase with a helicopter shows off the acrobatic web-swinging as well as some action-packed QTE set-pieces.
Spider-Man swings to PlayStation 4 as a console exclusive sometime next year. How do feel Insomniac's take on Marvel's flagship character is shaping up thus far?

Days Gone, which made its debut at last year's E3, returned with another gameplay trailer during Sony's E3 2017 press conference. This time our protagonist Deacon is forced to infiltrate a band of squatters to rescue companion, Manny.
Manny, as it would seem, carries some significance to Deacon, as he tears out on his motorcycle after hearing that he's in danger. Deacon meets with a clothesline crossing the road, things after that get bloody.
Deacon battles humans both living and dead on his path to rescue Manny. Bipeds aren't the only threat in a zombie infested world though, a zombie bear makes an appearance to keep things interesting.

Days Gone will be a PlayStation 4 exclusive and has the release date of December 29, 2017.

Fans of Horizon Zero Dawn will soon have a new reason to dive back into Guerrilla Games' post-apocalyptic world. The Frozen Wilds is the game's first piece of story DLC and it arrives later this year.
Aloy travels to a new land in search of "the mountain", which may contain vital information. Unfortunately, the mountain is guarded by a powerful beast. Perhaps this foe is a new type of machine? Hopefully players get to answer that question sooner rather than later.
Take a look at the announcement trailer below.
